"Come in!" A soft voice came from the room. The soldier took Xiao Yuansong into the room. There was only Changsun Wuji in the room. He was sitting at the table to approve the information that had been re-reproduced. He saw Xiao Yuan.
Song came in and smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, we are meeting again."
Xiao Yuansong knew the young official in front of him. He was talking to him yesterday. He turned out to be the chief official. Xiao Yuansong was a wise and experienced businessman. He knew what it means to be called the chief official in the Qin Palace?
Xiao Yuansong hurriedly stepped forward and gave a deep bow, "Small people meet the chief minister!"
Changsun Wuji smiled slightly and said straight to the point: "Mr. Xiao doesn't have to be too polite. I want to come here because I want to do a business with him."
"I dare not take it, please tell me."
Xiao Yuansong knew that it was not that easy to do business with the government, but he did not dare to refuse and acted as if he was listening attentively.
Changsun Wuji was very satisfied with his attitude and said calmly: "I heard that sir has a nephew who works as Sima in Yan'an County?"
The Sima of Yan'an County referred to by Changsun Wuji is Xiao Jiong, the nephew of Xiao Yuansong. Among the eighteen scholars who joined the army in Dunhuang, there were two people in the Xiao family, one was Xiao Feng and the other was Xiao Yuansong's nephew.
Xiao Jiong is currently the Sima of Yan'an County.
Xiao Yuansong became alert. Could it be that the Tang Dynasty wanted to attack his nephew? Yesterday, the chief minister came to ask about the experience of the Xiao family in Dunhuang. He felt something was wrong afterwards. Now he suddenly realized that it was for his nephew?
"I don't know much about this. I haven't been in contact for many years." Xiao Yuansong said with a dry laugh.
Changsun Wuji saw his nervousness and said lightly: "Mr. Xiao, don't worry. We don't mean to bribe your nephew, we just want to do a business with you."
Xiao Yuansong didn't say anything. He lowered his head and waited for the other party to continue talking. Changsun Wuji smiled and continued, "That's right, we also dug a turbulent well in Bashu. But I don't know how to compare it with the turbulent oil of the Sui army.
?I would like to invite you to Yan'an County and get some tincture for us."
Xiao Yuansong's face changed drastically and said anxiously: "The Sui Dynasty strictly regulates turbulence. Catching it is a death sentence, and I can't go."
"Hey! Mr. Xiao is thinking too much, we don't want a lot of tinea oil. Just a little bit, Mr. Xiao takes a wine pot and asks nephew to fill a pot and bring it back. This should not be difficult!"
Xiao Yuansong thought, if only a pot of tincture oil was needed, he would have a way. He had been to Yan'an County several times to sell tea and knew the situation there. It was easy to get tincture oil on the black market.
It is rare to have to pass through his nephew. Once it is found by the Sui army, it is the crime of beheading.
But just a pot of tincture oil is too easy. If you pretend to be a wine pot and carry it on your body, even if it is found, it can be said to be used to treat diseases. Yan'an County uses tincture oil to treat skin diseases, so the problem is not big.
.
Xiao Yuansong was moved. He found that this was a good deal. He asked, "Since it is said that he is doing business with me, what can I get?"
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "This matter should not be very difficult, so the price we offer will not be very high. We can exempt you from a one-time commercial tax."
Changsun Wuji took out a bronze medal and handed it to him, "This is the token of the Qin Prince's Mansion. If the gentleman comes back, if he is checked by Tang Jun, as long as he shows this token, he will not have to pay taxes. After he comes back, please take the token with the fire oil.
Return me together.”
Xiao Yuansong was overjoyed. With such a tax-free license plate, he could save thousands of tax money when he traveled to Yan'an County. He took the bronze medal and looked at it. The bronze medal was engraved with a kirin pattern, and the front was the two seal characters "Tang Feng".
The back is the number, number 196.
Tang Feng is the nickname of the Qin King Intelligence Agency. Most people don’t know it, and even most imperial officials don’t know it. Only a very small number of senior officials know it. No one knows it. He only knows it.
The token from the Qin King's Mansion was carefully put into his arms.
"I will set out early tomorrow morning, and I will bring the turmeric oil back in half a month at the latest."
"Then I'll wait for good news from sir."
Changsun Wuji smiled very well, but there was a hint of imperceptible coldness hidden in his smile... At noon, the restaurant in Bafang Taiyuan was still booming with a lot of guests and friends. Xiao Feng walked in with his steps as usual.
Even he forgot about the restaurant, how many times he came here to have dinner.
Since he was drunk and sent back to his house by Li Dongzhu here himself last time, he has felt a little grateful to the restaurant. He has used almost lunch and dinner here, and he ran twice a day, even the guy is very close to him.
Familiar with it.
"Oh! Xiao Shenjun is here. Please come upstairs and I'll keep the seat for you!"
Xiao Feng smiled and threw him a handful of copper coins, "I'll reward you!"
The guy hurriedly hugged the copper coins and bowed repeatedly, "Thank you Xiao to join the army to reward! Thank you for reward!"
Xiao Feng quickly walked up the second floor and happened to meet the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper Wu, where is your boss?"
"The boss is here! I'll invite him to have a drink with the army?"
"Whatever! If he is busy, don't bother him." Feng Di came over and bowed from afar and smiled: "It is a great pleasure to drink with Brother Xiao. How can Brother Xiao take my life's happiness.
?”
Xiao Feng laughed, "Since that's the case, please sit together!"
The two are already very close. Li Chongshou's wife even made a special trip to visit Xiao Feng's wife yesterday and gave her a great gift.
The two sat down and didn't have to give instructions, so the guy brought the best wine and food. Because the Sui Dynasty strictly prohibited the use of grain to make wine, the major wine shops supplied fruit wine, mostly with pineapple wine, but they had already become very good relationships.
My friend, Xiao Feng can drink some of the good millet wines that he had left in the past.
Li Chongshou filled Xiao Guan with a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao seems to be in a good mood today."
Xiao Feng picked up the wine glass and smiled and said, "What do you think! I suddenly figured out a truth: power, official position and wealth are nothingness, only family members are the most real. I plan to take time to visit Xiangyang this year to worship my ancestors.
”
Li Chongshou sneered in his heart. On the surface, Xiao Feng was a decent person, but after getting to know him, he would slowly realize that this was not the case. Yesterday afternoon, his wife sent a jade Buddha to his wife, worth hundreds of gold, but her wife
I accepted it with a smile, which is why Xiao Feng was in a very good mood today.
Although I knew it in my heart, Li Chongshou smiled and sighed, "Yes! No matter how much money it is, what's the use of? It can't be exchanged for parents' rebirth. If a person dies, it's just a piece of land. It's good to have a good fortune in the officialdom.
Whether you are proud of the mall, it is just a sense of vanity. You should spend more time on your wife and children, and don’t regret it when you are old.”
The two of them drank a few more glasses of wine and made an appointment to go to worship Buddha and burn incense together. Only then did Li Chongshou get up and say goodbye to do something else.
Xiao Feng was still as if nothing had happened. He sat in front of the window and drank by himself, looking at the view outside the window from time to time. At this time, a drinker walked up to him and bowed, "Is this envoy a military officer in the Records of the King of Chu?"
Xiao Feng was stunned. He looked at the drinker and saw that he was about fifty years old, wearing an old brocade robe, a gauze hat, and a half-white beard. He was thin and calm, and looked very elegant.
, like an official.
Xiao Feng smiled, "I'm down, Xiao Feng, it's the front room of the Chu throne to join the army. Is there anything wrong with this gentleman?"
The middle-aged man quickly smiled and said, "I am an old friend of the King of Chu. I have always wanted to see the King of Chu. Please tell His Highness the King of Chu whether he can meet the old friend Feng Deyi."
When Xiao Feng heard that this person was Feng Deyi, who was known as the first imperial pen in the Sui Dynasty, he was moved and quickly stood up to salute, "It turned out that he was a clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan
This middle-aged man was Yang Su's niece Feng Deyi. He served as the Neishishe for a long time. He wrote most of the imperial edicts in the court, so he was called the first imperial pen of the Sui Dynasty.
After Yang Guang's death, Yu Weng and appointed him as the Minister of the Inner History. After Yu Weng and his death surrendered to Li Mi and continued to serve as the Minister of the Inner History. However, he was not optimistic about Li Mi. At the beginning of the month, he was ordered to go to Luoyang, but he was halfway through.
I took the opportunity to escape and came to Taiyuan.
He also considered it between the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, but in the end he chose the Sui Dynasty. The reason is very simple, because he and Yang Yuanqing were old friends, and he was the first person in the world to invest in Yang Yuanqing. When Yang Yuanqing was still five years old,
He discovered that Yang Yuanqing was extraordinary and had such a tough relationship, why didn't he use it?
When he arrived in Taiyuan, he was not willing to live in Guisui Pavilion. How could he live with those lost officials like Yang Yuanqing?
But after wandering outside for a few days, he found that it was not possible. He couldn't even get close to the Princess of Chu, let alone leave a message to the Princess of Chu. He had no choice but to move into Guisui Pavilion. This waited for ten days, without any
information.
Feng Deyi was extremely disappointed and depressed. Today he came to the restaurant in Bafang to eat and drink, but he listened to people's fingers. The person by the window was the King of Chu who joined the army, so Feng Deyi came up to find opportunities with shamelessness.
Seeing that Xiao Feng respected him quite well, Feng Deyi felt proud and did not hesitate. He sat down directly, picked up the wine pot and filled his wine glass first.
"It's enviable for Xiao to be successful in this young man! I wish Xiao to Xiao to be the army."
Xiao Feng smiled, "I am a junior, I should respect the senior, please give me a title, please give me a title!"
The two of them made a glass-climbing posture and both drank it all in one go. "Good wine!" Feng Deyi narrowed his eyes and praised.
Xiao Feng asked again: "When did you come to Taiyuan, I don't know?"
Feng Deyi knew that if he didn't even know that Xiao Feng's military service would join the military, Yang Yuanqing wouldn't know that he was coming. He suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in his heart and said quickly: "I have been here for ten miles and live in my hometown."
Suiguan, can you ask Xiao Shenjun to do me a favor?"
Xiao Feng smiled slightly, "But I want me to tell His Highness the King of Chu?"
"Yes!"
Feng Deyi bowed and said, "I am old friends with the King of Chu. I was very familiar with him when he was a child. Please join the army and must tell the King of Chu that Feng Deyi risked his life from Li Mi to escape and defected to him... To be continued)
